Testimonies

In 2019, I was given the incredible opportunity to pursue my studies abroad in the captivating Kingdom of Belgium.

My academic training and my life experience in Brussels in the last five years have been deeply enriching because they allowed me to enter spaces that continually promoted a critical spirit and a reflective outlook.

My name is Izumi Koganemaru from Japan. I studied Bio Medical science at Kobe University and I went to Belgium in 2019 as an exchange student at Université catholique de Louvain.

Maria Elena has received an Excellence grant funded by Wallonia-Brussels International since autumn 2020. This post-doctoral student chose ULiège to conduct research on an international artistic movement: concrete and visual poetry.

Belgium is a lovely country. I felt very welcomed by the citizens of Brussels and by all my colleagues at Université libre de Bruxelles, where I was for a doctorate internship for 5 months in 2017. I'm waiting to come back to Belgium as soon as possible.

Living and studying in Brussels was a remarkable opportunity for enriching my career and network. At UCLouvain, I performed part of my PhD project experiments, had the chance to work with internationally recognized researchers and make some good friends.
